This is a quarterback battle in Iowa City, and in EA Sports CFB 27, players can run this battle themselves, giving Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown chances.Running BacksKamari Moulton: 88Lendon Phillips Jr.: 82Brevin Doll: 77Nathan NcNeil: 76What a strong group and a very respectable rating for Kamari Moulton. As this fall should show us, Kamari Moulton will be the main back. Why not go for 1,000 yards with him in the video game?Wide ReceiversReece Vander Zee: 79Tony Diaz: 79Evan James: 77Jarriett Biue: 74Dayton Howard: 72KJ Parker: 71Marcello Vitti: 71Alex Eichmann: 69Xavier Stinson: 67Tight EndsDec 31, 2025; Tampa, FL, USA; Iowa Hawkeyes tight end DJ Vonnahme (81) receives a pass for a touchdown defended by Vanderbilt Commodores linebacker Bryce Cowan (22) in the third quarter during the ReliaQuest Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.

Iowa could be built around 12 personnel, which is a good thing given that Addison Ostrenga and Zach Ortwerth are more than simply depth pieces behind DJ Vonnahme.Left TacklesTrevor Lauck: 90Will Nolan: 72Bodey McCaslin: 70Left GuardsLeighton Jones: 79Cael Winter: 73CentersApr 26, 2025; Iowa City, IA, USA; Iowa offensive lineman Kade Pieper looks to the sideline during a spring NCAA football open practice at Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa is going to need someone to splash once the season gets underway to provide pressure on quarterbacks.Defensive TacklesBryce Hawthorne: 78Brice Stevenson: 75Will Hubert: 75Emmanuel Olagbaju: 71Devan Kennedy: 69Lance Ingold: 68Luke Gaffney: 67LinebackersIowa Hawkeyes linebacker Cam Buffington (33) runs the ball after intercepting a pass during a game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers Oct. 25, 2025 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. | Julia Hansen/Iowa City Press-Citizen / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesJayden Montgomery: 78Cam Buffington: 75Landyn Van Kekerix: 74Julian Manson: 73Derek Weisskopf: 71Preston Ries: 68Billy Weivoda: 67Nolan DeLong: 65 Not that ratings confirm much, but it's another step in the direction of Cam Buffington earning the starting job alongside Jayden Montgomery when Iowa plays its 4-2-5 defensive scheme.CornerbacksDeshaun Lee: 85Jaylen Watson: 80Darion Jones: 75Rashad Godfrey Jr.: 75SafetiesIowa Hawkeyes defensive back Zach Lutmer (6) runs with the ball after intercepting a pass by Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza (15) Sept. 27, 2025 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. | Julia Hansen/Iowa City Press-Citizen / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesZach Lutmer: 88Tyler Brown: 82Anthony Hawkins: 79Xavier Styles: 72Ty Hudkins: 71Cody Haddad: 70Kyler Gerardy: 68 Zach Lutmer leading the way for the Hawkeyes here makes a lot of sense. Being Iowa's versatile chess piece, putting him as a safety in the game is also the right call.Move him around like Phil Parker, slot him at corner against good wide receivers, or add him in the run game. Lutmer can be moved around in the game just like real life. KickersEli Ozick: 71PuntersTanner Philpott: 71Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
